Update 2: Thank you! We have had over 2,500 donors in the last 6 hours. Can we reach our high end goal of 5,000 people? - 09:30 GMT Monday 15 July.

Update 1: Wow! In the last two hours, close to 1,000 people have dontated to this campaign. Thank you so much! Let's see if we can get to 4,000 donors by the end of the day! - 06:00 GMT Monday 15 July.

The bees are vanishing, and the pace is accelerating. We finally know the reason behind it, but powerful corporations are profiting off the very chemical -- a nastly class of pesticides known as neonicotinoids -- putting our ecosystem at risk, and they’re fighting like hell to hide the truth.

We need to get our message out, and we know just the way to do it. We're raising money to send in a swarm of beekeepers to the world's largest independent garden store conference, to make a persuasive, personal pitch to the very men and women who decide what pesticides are stocked on store shelves nationwide. Can you contribute today to ensure the safety of our ecosystem for future generations?
